This is a terrific analysis of the topic. Much food for thought. I will re-read the newest Gamache novel with an eye towards the ideas you have raised. Bravo!

Really enjoyed this thoughtful exploration of the human, messy, cracked-where-the-light-gets-through side of Penny's books, thank you.

For a wonderful, gentle-yet-practical book on healing from trauma of any kind, you might enjoy Lisa Olivera's Already Enough.

Penny puts the humane back in humanity.

But she mischievously teases us too. Is she ever going to tell us the mystery animal Gracies' Genus and species?
